3 | [...***...] DEVELOPMENT, INDs, NDAs and [...***...] DEVELOPMENTS | |||
3.1 | As soon as is practicable following the Commencement Date, and in any event no later than 30th September 2002, the parties shall meet and agree the content, and within ten (10) working days thereafter Prestwick shall prepare, with the co-operation of Cambridge the [...***...] Development Plan (as described below) and shall arrange to attend the Initial FDA Consultation. |
The [...***...] Development Plan shall contain all relevant information and reports required from Cambridge and Prestwick, including but not limited to: Prestwick’s estimated financial requirements to submit and pursue the IND; an estimate of timelines for IND submissions; a plan of the parties’ strategy for submission of an IND for the first indications (as referred to in clause 3.4); and relevant XXXXX charts wherever needed. The [...***...] Development Plan, once agreed, shall be appended as Schedule 1A to this Agreement.
3.2 | Following the Initial FDA Consultation the parties shall agree on the [...***...] Development Plan. | |||
3.3 | The obligations of Prestwick regarding [...***...] are based on the assumptions that [...***...] (hereinafter “the Assumptions”). In the event that the Assumptions are not correct the parties will review the obligations of Prestwick. Further, the parties acknowledge that the economic terms of this proposed relationship that are set forth in this agreement are based on the Assumptions. If, following the Initial FDA Consultation and the IND filing, the Assumptions prove to be incorrect, [...***...], the parties shall negotiate in good faith to [...***...]. If, within [...***...] of commencing any such discussions, agreement cannot be reached the matter shall be referred to the Dispute Escalation procedure set forth in clause 22. Prestwick reserves the right to terminate this agreement should the Assumptions prove materially incorrect in the manner and to the extent set forth above but will only exercise that right following the completion of the steps set forth above. | |||
3.4 | Following the Initial FDA Consultation and based on the comments of the FDA the parties shall meet to determine the indications for which NDAs will be sought in furtherance of the |
[...***...] Development Plan and the chronological priority in which the NDA’s will be accordingly prepared and filed. The parties believe at the date of this Agreement that the indications from which the first indications will be selected include Huntington’s disease, tardive dyskinesia or Hyperkinesia [...***...]. The parties acknowledge that the FDA may dictate the indications in respect of which it will consider the NDAs and/or the chronological order in which such NDAs will be considered. In addition the parties acknowledge that the FDA could require actions to be taken in furtherance of the [...***...] Development Plan that could compromise [...***...].
3.5 | If the advice received from the FDA either at the Initial FDA Consultation or at any other time during the course of the prosecution of the NDAs is that the FDA requires the product that is the subject of the [...***...] Development Plan to be [...***...], the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith the implications of such a requirement. In the event that the parties believe it is not possible to convince the FDA to waive this requirement, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on provision of written notice provided that the exercise of such right of termination shall not bring to an end Prestwick’s opportunity to co-invest under clause 6.2 if that opportunity would apply to [...***...]. For the sake of clarity, in the circumstances contemplated herein that opportunity shall survive termination and, if Prestwick elects to take up the opportunity to co-invest, the parties shall execute an agreement pertaining to [...***...] on the terms contemplated by clause 6.2. | |||

Prestwick will further be |
responsible, [...***...], for executing and filing all other regulatory submissions with the FDA. Cambridge shall provide all such assistance to Prestwick as Prestwick shall reasonably request in connection with the compiling and filing any such submissions and administering the FDA’s review of such submissions.
3.8 | Within [...***...] of the filing of any IND or NDA pertaining to the Product, Prestwick shall provide to Cambridge a complete copy of such filing and shall thereafter provide Cambridge with complete copies of any amendments to or updates of the application. | |||
3.9 | Should the parties decide to seek NDAs for indications for the Product other than Hyperkinesia, Huntington’s and tardive dyskinesia the parties shall agree upon a plan for a [...***...] Development regarding such and the costs of undertaking that [...***...] Development shall be [...***...]. For the sake of clarity the indication of Tourettes will be considered as such an indication. No [...***...] Development may be undertaken without the prior consent of Cambridge. | |||
3.10 | Prestwick will provide [...***...] updates on progress of the [...***...] Development Plan and any [...***...] Development plan and shall make available to Cambridge via an [...***...] license access to all information, materials, assays, data and reports including the final study reports (hereinafter “Data”), to the extent owned or controlled by Prestwick and transferable, arising from the [...***...] Development or any [...***...] Development that may be used by Cambridge to obtain any regulatory approvals in all markets outside the Territory.

Following termination (unless terminated due to Cambridge’s breach) or expiration of this Agreement, Cambridge shall have the exclusive worldwide right to use such of the Data arising from the [...***...] Development it wishes to use following payment to Prestwick of a sum equal to [...***...]. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences and the use of the terms [...***...], the parties agree that Prestwick’s obligations shall (i) not extend to Data consisting of [...***...] or records [...***...] or [...***...] as per [...***...]; and (ii) be subject to [...***...] by those [...***...] including, without limitation, (a) those [...***...], (b) those [...***...] reference or use of the [...***...]; and (c) [...***...] of [...***...]. Prestwick shall use reasonable endeavours to secure transferable rights to Data within the foregoing context. | |||

3.12 | All INDs and NDAs shall be in the name of Prestwick and shall be held and maintained at all times by Prestwick at its cost, subject to any right of Cambridge to require surrender or transfer of such in accordance with this Agreement or any requirement of the FDA. Prestwick acknowledges that, to the extent permissible under United States law, including, without limitation, the U.S. Food and Drug Act, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (and in any event as between the parties), the beneficial interest in any INDs and, NDAs is and shall be with Cambridge. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Prestwick shall, [...***...], do all things necessary to transfer the all INDs and NDAs to Cambridge or Cambridge’s nominee, and Prestwick hereby irrevocably appoints Cambridge as its attorney to sign all such documents and do all such things as are necessary to effect such transfer, should Prestwick fail to do so within the said [...***...] period.
